What only washcloths do not happen - long and square, shaggy and smooth, spongy and rubberized! With all this diversity, it is often quite difficult to choose one specific thing. Some bath accessories are beautiful in appearance, but not soft enough, others are uncomfortable in shape. Therefore, for many needlewomen, crocheting washcloths has become a useful activity in order to obtain the product that most meets all the requirements. We suggest you do it yourself with one of these practical bath gizmos. Below you will find a detailed description of the work.
Step-by-step crocheting
The finished product looks like a two-layer square with a hole at the top and an attached eyelet for hanging. In such a "pocket" you can put a piece of foam or a bar of soap. The pattern can consist of both simple double crochet, and from alternating them with lush. Experienced craftswomen knit washcloths using the principle of fringe. But this requires a certain skill.
Stage 1. Crocheting washcloths: necessary materials
- synthetic threads - 30 grams;
- hook number 3.
Stage 2. Crocheting washcloths: the scheme is replaced by detailed instructions
The canvas is obtained in the form of a rectangle measuring approximately 15x30 centimeters. Pre-knit a small blank on the selected ornament to more accurately calculate the number of initial loops and rows. To fulfill the square washcloth proposed in the photo, threads of medium thickness are used. Dial from 50 to 70 air loops. The figure consists of two alternating rows:
- the first and all odd - columns with one crochet;
- the second and all even - magnificent columns.
Knit a cloth 15 centimeters high according to the proposed drawing. You can also do the work moving in a circle. Then only the bottom of the washcloth will have to be sewn up. Sizes are adjustable as you wish. Children's products fit a little smaller (finished washcloth - a square of 10x10 cm). More experienced craftswomen successfully knit and then sew two canvases of other shapes - a heart, an apple, a duckling, etc.
Stage 3. Crocheting washcloths: a description of the implementation of a lush column
Insert the hook into the loop of the base, grab the working thread and pull out about one centimeter. Repeat this three to five times. In conclusion, knit all the loops on the hook in a single crochet. Then, based on the previous row, skip one loop and repeat the fluffy column.
Fold the work in half and hook the lower and side parts together. To do this, thread through the upper rows on both sides, knitting with single crochet. Tie a loop for hanging, consisting of a chain and two rows of single crochet posts.
Stage 4. Crocheting washcloths: stitching the product
